Bioinformatics is now essential to life science. But what is this discipline about? And who are the people behind it? Day after day, the 800 experts of the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics work hand in hand with life scientists and clinicians to make sense of an ever-increasing amount of biological data. They develop software and algorithms, they curate and preserve the wealth of knowledge contained in the scientific literature for future generations, they conduct powerful analyses to discover, predict, prevent, cure… for the benefit of society. Meet our Swiss bioinformatics heroes! **SIB thanks its generous sponsors for the financing of this movie (see list of sponsors at: www.sib.swiss/20years)**

This video provides a glimpse at the fascinating world of proteomics research, the study of all proteins that form the basis for life. The video was produced for the lab of prof. dr. Albert Heck at Utrecht University and the Netherlands Proteomics Centre. Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, which are vital parts of all living organisms. Studying proteins can help to better understand diseases and the effectiveness of drugs, but can teach us why some plants can adapt to harsh environments and how we can most effectively combat bacterial infections. This video about proteomics research was made possible with input from members of the Heck lab and financial support by the Utrecht Institute for Pharmaceutical Sciences (UIPS).

Were pleased to present our latest video, What is Genomics? developed in collaboration with Ontario Genomics Institute and Genome British Columbia. It looks at what genomics means to us and our world and how it relatetes to DNA & genetics, and what studying genomics means to human health, our environment and our knowledge about how we fit into our world.

NASA’s Human Research Program is releasing the first half of a video series entitled Omics: Exploring Space Through You to highlight its Twins Study, in conjunction with National DNA Day. The series explores space through you by using omics to look more closely at individual health. - Story: http://www.nasa.gov/content/exploring-space-through-you-omics - HRP Main Page: http://www.nasa.gov/hrp - Twins Study: http://www.nasa.gov/twins-study
